Thanx to some SCROT, that smashed the windscreen on our car tonight, we need to get it replaced. Any idea of costs to replace on a 1994 Toyota Corona! Would appreciate the heads up. Worst part is, it was outside my Father in Laws house, and he is 80, and has terminal cancer, and is now worried about his own safety in his own home. Would love to get hold of the culprit, I tell ya, there would be a hanging.

Some people are nothing but scum! If the vehicle is insured it's probably a good time to check the fine print. your policy may give you a free windscreen replacement

Theres nothin like a good lynching. hang em high. As for the windscreen they are common so they should be easy to get and reasonably priced.

I guess its only dumb if you are going to drive it every day until its sold. Its not being driven. It was parked out on the road, to keep the driveway clear

it WAS dumb to un-insure it, you having a broken screen and no insurance proves that.

Its Dumb to ask for a price on a messageboard when you can ring a glass place yourself and get a proper price and answer and not a dumb one.

at an average cost a s/h w/screen from a dismantler will cost you around $125-$145, fitting down here in hamilton is about $120.Ring smith & smith for a new costing

I still have insurance for two cars that are off the road and in locked garages.Although I don't expect either garage to cave in, it doesn't take too much to trip over whilst carrying something solid and damage the car.
Leaving an uninsured car outside when there are so many scumbags around is a risk I wouldn't dare take.

Crap, thats bad luck.Shop around for a price (smith and smith, and there are others around).Or as suggested you could try a wrecker.I would re-insure it anyway, even if just for third party - what happens if it rolls away down the road and smashes something, or if someone is test driving it before buying (as people do) and has a smash!

Got a window done in a toyota cynos, guy said the glass was a bit tricky to find, but all up with callout, glass and fitting I paid something like $280 from memory. Mind you I needed it done quick so it might be cheaper if you can get the car to a workshop perhaps! good luck either way
